We are completing a renovation project consisting of three older bathrooms in this 1920’s Mount Airy Stone Twin.
We installed this Forbo Marmoleum sheet goods floor in the powder room and the third-floor bathrooms. The color is #3182 Lapponia.
Marmoleum linoleum is a green product that’s been around a long, long time! It has a jute backing, and the sheeting is made from linseed oil, cork and sawdust plus coloring. The color goes all the way through, so it will wear a long time. The linseed oil oxidizes, which means this flooring repels germs! I used to do oil painting restoration, and oxidized linseed oil was one of the hardest substances we ran into.
You can see that we salvaged the original nickel and glass towel bars, too! The bars are made of 1-inch round glass rods.
